General Motors is setting big goals for themselves this decade as they hope to make an impact on the electric vehicle industry. Here are the confirmed EV models that the automaker expects to have on sale in the U.S. in the near future.

Following the pickup version of the GMC Hummer EV that was teased in a 2020 Super Bowl commercial featuring LeBron James, GMC will introduce an SUV version of the full-size truck with off-road capability. The platform that both will be built on will be available with a tri-motor setup that delivers 1,000 hp and the ability to accelerate to 60 mph in three seconds.

Along with the Hummers, Chevrolet will be getting an electric Silverado 1500-sized pickup that doesn’t yet have a name, but will be offered with a battery large enough to provide 400 miles of driving range.
GM has confirmed the Hummer pickup will be in showrooms by the end of 2021, but hasn’t announced dates for the SUV or the Chevy truck. Assuming the Chevy arrives in 2022 or later, it may be facing competition from an electric Ford F-150 that’s in the works, along with the Tesla Cybertruck, which the company claims will be offered in a model with over 500 miles of range.
DID GMC HUMMER EV POP ITS T-TOP IN NEW IMAGE?
In addition to the trucks, the report confirms that Chevy is getting compact and midsized electric utility vehicles, while Buick is set for a function-focused SUV and also a more stylish CUV, which may or may not be sold in the U.S.
The Lyriq is scheduled to be unveiled on Aug 6.
Cadillac looks to be the destination for the lion’s share of GM’s battery-powered output, with the soon-to-be-unveiled Lyriq midsized two-row SUV, a midsized three-row SUV, an entry-level compact SUV, an Escalade-style full-size SUV and the flagship Celestiq sedan. The Celestiq will be hand-built at a rate of just 1.2 cars per day and reportedly cost over $200,000.
